    Hi everyone, I bought this stove marked "SOLUS," thinking it was a Coleman, but I haven't found anything like it on the forum. Can anyone help me identify it? Thanks.

    No idea what it is but with the external non-return valve it's an oldie.

    New to me.

    It’s interesting that it has the external NRV.

    Cheers

    Congrats @Bebo
    I feel like it is safe to say you have scored a very rare stove.
    very very interesting.
    edit I'd suggest it be moved to Mystery Stove category. [otherhand, it IS a SOLUS ]
    You now have it in-hand.
    >>>The pics that you share here is all "I" have to go on. <<<
    I too dont see anything like it on site nor can i recall anything.
    Can you share with us what town and country it came from when you bought it?

    The pump tube-to-tank connection (and "maybe" riser-to-tank connection), the quality, may be in question?, YET otherwise strikes me as very well made. Like many brassies this "could" remain useable long after we're gone.
    Speculation: Northern Italy? ... -or- Could brief post-WW1 born date be reason for no country of origin marking?

    A stout unique shape & type of vent-filler cap we have seen somewhat similar (Juwel?) but cant say i recall a close match to that one.
